Ask Slashdot: Anti-Camera Device For Use In a Small Bus?
Paul server guy writes "I am building a limousine bus, and the owners want to prevent occupants from using cameras on board. (But they would like the cameras mounted on the bus to continue to operate; I think they would consider this optional.) They would also like to do it without having to wear any 'anti-paparazzi' clothing (because they also want to protect the other guests on board), and without destroying the cameras. (So no EMP generators, please). We've done some testing with high-power IR, but that proved ineffective. Does anyone have any ideas that they are willing to share?"
You won't get this kind of shit article on http://soylentnews.org/
A Good Troll is better than a Bad Human.
If Soylent News didn't allow ACs, I'd move there right now. As it is, I'll adopt a wait and see approach. See whether Slashdot persists on enforcing beta, and wait and see whether SN gets quality news and sufficient comments.
I personally disagree with the AC opinion, but that is a matter of taste.
soylent has about 1000 users joined in the first day, have some good posters. We will see how it fares after the novelty ends. Still the articles are more interesting so far, and there are some decent comments.
A Good Troll is better than a Bad Human.
Just back from my week long boycott of slashdot. I'd have to disagree with AC the other website has functioned perfectly for me. And more so by it's interest in serving it's community of users. Is it just me? Or has there been a marked increase in submissions here?
anyways for those who missed it, dice holdings has pissed of a large portion of the slashdot userbase. We have left the site enmasse. Regardless of the number of submissions, the quantity of comments has diminished greatly here. And at the heart of it, that is the attraction of this site for most.
Looking at the first 10 posts on each site, and taking the comp.misc newsgroup for comparison the average number of comments so far is:
soylent news: 27
comp.misc: 3
slashdot: 126
So there is a difference, but not a huge one.
